Hello DevRanters!

I've put together a gaming desktop, and I want your opinions 😊

Keep in mind, I am Australian, so it's all in AUD currency.
Currently 1$ AUD == 1.30$ USD

Better get Zotac GPU and remove the WiFi if not really needed else looks good.

And a quick note for the CPUs, I am unaware of support for Ryzen but if you change your mind and get intel(6 <= gen) keep in mind that the linux intel hd graphics support is very poor.

@just-basic-user
Thanks for your recommendations!

Any reason for Zotac in particular?
I use WiFi currently, although am looking at moving the router closer to my desk, so I could use Ethernet later down the track.

Ryzen is compatible in this build (to my knowledge), but Intel is good too.
Any recommendations for the CPU?

@coolq Zotac gtx 1050 is same (almost) specs but 100$ and smaller.
And for the cpu: I would buy ryzen(you should look what the support is) or little older intel (5 generation for example) because graphics on linux are completely supported and the price is lower.

@just-basic-user
I'd that 100$ AUD?
Also, thanks for the CPU suggestions!

i would buy an rx460 or rx560 instead of the 1050 tho

@BindView
Okay thanks! I'm all for AMD. Want to elaborate?

@coolq just my experience speaking, i had both 1050 and now 460 and the latter delivers a bit more performance-wise but it was cheaper

@coolq Totally forgot that, sorry.

@ThatDude I assumed that if it’s a desktop, he can probably remove the wifi.

@BindView
Hmm, interesting! I think I'll look into the rx460 😄

@just-basic-user
No problem, I appreciate your effort!

@ThatDude
I currently use WiFi, but that may change 😤

@ThatDude Yep, completely depends on one’s needs.

You should get faster RAM, Ryzen really loves fast RAM

I really wouldnt use a 1050 for gaming, 1060 or 1070 would be much better...

How high is your Budget?
I mean, with this build youll be mostly playing on low or medium Settings...

@IamGay6969 Okay, but I think the 1050/rx460 is enough for what I need, I've done some research, and for the games I play, it should be fine.

@RealKC Faster RAM? Okay, I didn't know that, thanks!

@IamGay6969
My budget is pretty low for a gaming PC, but it's having enough 😄

@itsnameless sorry, what?

@ArcaneEye hmm, okay. I'll see if I can invest in ram speed 😉
